Overview

• Closing arguments resumed in Comodoro Py as Fernando Sabag Montiel’s public defender sought his acquittal, arguing he is legally non-imputable due to a mental disorder.
• The defense said the Bersa .22 pistol could not fire because the magazine was not fully seated, challenging the existence of a genuine attempt.
• Prosecutor Gabriela Baigún requested 15 years for Sabag Montiel—rising to 19 with unification to a prior 4‑year sentence—and 14 years for Brenda Uliarte as a necessary participant.
• Cristina Kirchner’s legal team asked for 15‑year sentences for both Sabag Montiel and Uliarte, citing video and chemical traces, witness testimony and the accused’s confession.
• Co-defendant Gabriel Nicolás Carrizo was freed after charges were withdrawn; defenses for Uliarte and Carrizo are set for September 25, with a verdict expected late September or early October.
